Responsibilities

  • Develop and lead integrated biomarker strategies across oncology and hematology programs with cross-functional teams
  • Translate disease biology and therapeutic mechanisms into translational hypotheses and fit-for-purpose biomarker approaches
  • Define how biomarkers inform key development questions including patient selection, dose selection, and resistance mechanisms
  • Lead interpretation of biomarker and clinical datasets and provide strategic input to program-level decision-making
  • Mentor biomarker scientists and support publications, scientific presentations, and external collaborations

Requirements

  • Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent advanced degree in oncology, hematology, translational medicine, or biomarker science
  • Significant experience developing and executing translational or clinical biomarker strategies in oncology or hematology
  • Strong expertise in cancer biology, hematologic malignancies, or translational oncology
  • Experience with biomarker modalities such as NGS, ctDNA, MRD, flow cytometry, or gene-expression profiling
  • Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional work in matrixed environments and influence without direct authority
  • Strong analytical skills and working knowledge of biostatistics, bioinformatics, and quantitative sciences
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with ability to translate complex findings into actionable recommendations
